But that won't happen. If Obama has a delegate lead the Super delegates will go to him...even if it's close...to do otherwise would doom the party. I'm hating our nomination season but loving theirs!


Exactly. The powers-that-be will support Obama for this reason: Bill has played the implicit racism card hoping to scare Whitey into voting against Obama. The African-Americans know that they are being dissed and WILL NOT show up to vote for Hillary if she is the nominee. So, the dim party will have lost their most reliable voting block for this election and probably many more. For this reason alone, the super delegates will back Obama. He offers everything that Clinton offers without the baggage. Plus he's young and inexperienced and will likely be easy clay in the hands of those powers-that-be.

Pennsylvania also has a primary same day as Ohio and Texas. Obama is favored in both Ohio and Pennsylvania, which have large urban black populations. If Clinton wins anywhere, it will probably only be in Texas where she leads the Hispanic (read, illegal Mexican) vote.

But...with Obama likely to win Ohio and Pennsylvania, Clinton does not catch up in the delegate count, although they will remain in a very tight race.
